What Client’s Say
Sue’s help was invaluable to our programs. She helped us design stronger evaluation plans to better monitor our intervention activities and measure objectives. She provided high-quality reports that were versatile for internal and external stakeholders as well as key decision makers. Sue was an insightful mentor and knowledgeable extension to our projects.
We are so grateful for Sue who helped us through the arduous and confusing process of grant writing for the first time. She was able to break things down to be more manageable, with visual aids we could refer back to. We feel more confident and relaxed in our program planning, implementation, and evaluation with Sue on board. Her skills and expertise continue to build the capacity and strength of our program.
For the first time in a long time we have strategic goals and objectives! Sue was able to guide our sometimes contentious group toward an end goal, keeping everyone on task and focused on the objective.
Your workshop [on Fundraising in Challenging Times] was one of the most productive workshops I’ve attended in a lifetime of attending workshops and seminars. I got great ideas. And, I met new, local people who share similar goals and problems. Thank you!
You kept us focused and on track. We now have clear direction, performance measures, an action plan, and implementation procedures.
It has been so refreshing to be able to provide feedback without it becoming a debate or having the feedback ignored. The organization of the session, as well as your facilitation, were excellent.
The strategic plan we developed with you was so effective, we have used it to guide our work for the last 2 years.
Your expertise in planning and facilitation provided the edge that made our Leadership Mendocino retreat successful – and lots of fun!
You quickly digested the issues, analyzed what was most important, and worked with me to develop the most effective format to meet the workshop goals . . . the meeting went well and I received good feedback from the participants.
Your direction and guidance acted as a catalyst, focusing the diverse range of knowledge and experiences of the MLFPP members into a cohesive, sustainable Fall Prevention Strategic Plan that reflects the issues and needs of our community.
You helped us organize the thoughts and concerns of a diverse group of neighbors into a cohesive and consensual action plan. We are grateful for your assistance.
